The kitchen between sessions is where half my referrals happen. Someone mentions a client who needs what I do, and I'm already holding a mug of their tea.

What is Commune

A neighborhood of healers who found each other.

Commune started when three Portland practitioners — a therapist, a dietitian, and a massage therapist — realized they were each paying for their own space, missing referrals that should have been effortless, and eating lunch alone. Now we're 140 members across three locations.

Flexible room booking

Hourly, half-day, or recurring weekly blocks. Evening and weekend availability for practitioners building caseloads.

Built-in referral network

When you have a client who needs a modality outside your scope, someone down the hall already knows their name.

HIPAA-compliant infrastructure

Private entrances, soundproofed rooms, encrypted shared scheduling, and a BAA included in every membership.

Peer learning community

Monthly panels, credentialing workshops, and a Slack channel where someone always has the answer you need at 11 PM.

Voices from the community

The practitioners who found their people.

I'd been solo for two years and burning out. Commune gave me a referral network I didn't have to build from scratch — my caseload grew 40% in six months, and I actually take Fridays off now.

As a newly credentialed RD, I had no idea how to navigate insurance panels. The Commune credentialing workshop saved me months of confusion. The practitioners here genuinely want each other to succeed.

I left a hospital system to practice on my own terms. Commune's evening rooms and the community in the kitchen between sessions — that's what makes it feel like a practice, not just a rental.
